Create or edit the life cycle of a business application to manage the business application.

## Before you begin

The application model (field name: Model ID) is required to create an application model lifecycle for a business application. The application model ID can either be entered manually or can be automatically created and added
to the business application by executing or scheduling the CSDM Product Model Assignment script. For details on how to run the CSDM Product Model Assignment script, see [Generate an application model for business applications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6Cj~md5~7GvWfHwKh7h3xQ "Execute a script to generate the application model for existing business applications. An application model is a structured representation of a business application's components and their relationships and interactions within your application landscape.").
